Alan Malouf, who played a celebrity dentist and appeared with Kathy Hilton on this summer’s Million Dollar Listing San Francisco, hosted a prenuptial party for Nicky Hilton and James Rothschild at Harry’s Bar in London.

Schuyler Hudak with young girls from the Masai tribe in Mara, one of Africa’s greatest wildlife reserves, in Kenya. These girls were saved from female genital mutilation (FGM). All women of the Masai tribe are expected to be ‘cut’. Many are ‘cut’ at the age of 10, and married off at age 11 to men who are significantly older. Workers are trying to end FGM, educate the girls, and help them build a better life for themselves and their families. When the girls met Hudak, they wanted to pet her “lion mane”
